Blogs are ridiculous, slightly pointless, great sources of information that drive the world we live in.
I've recently been doing some marketing for a website (http://www.paretologic-products.com) and working on it's page rank in the major search engines. The typical way to go about this task is to accumulate a large amount of back links to the site you're attempting to promote and wait for Google to index these links. Then after a few months you'll begin to see the results and reap the rewards of all your hard work. Basically it's very very slow in the short run, but very very fast in the long run. Once things take off, they really go.
Well, the most effective ways to build these back links for a product driven website is to either write articles on your topic, while making references to your website, which will hopefully get indexed by the search engines and other people, or leave comment after comment on dofollow blogs that are related to the genre of your product. Ultimately this got me thinking, and it made me realize that blogs technically control the world we live in.
In some form or fashion, practically everyone is influenced by the internet these days, and if you're one of the people that use the internet regularly then you use Google, Yahoo, Bing, or some other search engine to find what you're looking for. Well, when you do this you're viewing the pages that have the highest page rank for the word or phrase that you searched with. Or in other words, you find the websites that get the most traffic and have the most back links to them.
Since blogs are the main source of back links, I feel like one can plainly see that blogs play a large role in driving the search engines and driving our attention on the internet. However, the only reason this works is because you can find a blog on any topic that you type into the search engine. It's really quite amazing. Some of these have been grown out of necessity as a marketing strategy, but most have been created out of pure desire. People from all walks of life willingly lay their thoughts on the line, and allow them to potentially be read, hated, loved, discussed, etc. by people they've never even met.
Believe it, or not.
Blogs drive the internet and influence the world we live in.
I wonder how many people have actually realized this?
